network problem, startup

qrange · 03-21-2015, 01:42 AM

using debian testing, amd64, with eth0 and eth1. (eth1 usually unused)
Every once in a while, eth0 isn't automatically up after boot, I have to manually click it in network manager to activate. Is there way to solve this?

thanks.

You could use a stanza in /etc/network/interfaces rather than rely on NetworkManager.

Here is mine:

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

See man interfaces
https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfi...rnet_Interface

I think NetworkManager should honour the settings in this file but it's probably best to just disable it:

Code:

# systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
